You can always count on Skip Bayless to spout the easiest, knee-jerk contrarian reaction when any sports story pops up. He’s allergic to subtlety and the king of the uninformed. Skip gave us another example of this on Sunday night, after the Cardinals-Seahawks 6-6 debacle:
I despise field-goal kicking. Great athletes fight their guts out for 4 quarters and overtime and 2 nonfootball-player kickers blow it.

Some day somebody will listen to me. Field goal kicking should be eliminated. Keep punting but you must go for it or punt every 4th down.

Normally we would ignore this typical idiocy, but former Colts punter Pat McAfee couldn’t, he went in on Bayless:
But, my brother.. All of us pro ball kickers LOVE old men who get on TV & act like douchebags while wearing makeup.. Let's hug it out. https://t.co/4pe9AUMs7U

Is it the most creative joke to go after a man for wearing makeup? No, no it isn’t — he’s on TV, after all, and what’s wrong with makeup anyway? Yet, we’re still moved to side with Pat on this one, because it’s impossible to spout opinions as tired as Skip’s. Of course, the more athletes engage his antics, the more visible his antics become, and most sports fans wish he would go away… It’s a tough spot, but sometimes you just need to say what’s on your mind.
